As part of a bloggural exchange, I am forced delighted to introduce fellow pod pilot and master of science, Kename Fin, author of Our EVE. But I can't possibly do justice to the many responsibilities Fin assumes in keeping under control the industrialists, wannabe-PvPers, and occasional fools found in ...

I finally bash my way through to the end of Guitar Hero 5, unlocking the last venue and reaching 500 stars. The career mode is far less rewarding than in its predecessor, Guitar Hero: World Tour. Whilst it is much better not to have to play unfavoured songs ...

Patience is a virtue, and capsuleers of stealth bombers need to have it in abundance. Sitting in their lair of a quiet pocket of space, waiting for unsuspecting pilots to wander in to the kill zone, stealth bombers are not ships for the impatient. I can't be entirely ...

Sometimes, I feel I should live up to my promise. Although I haven't been posting many updates about drumming along in Guitar Hero 5 I am still playing, practising my favourites and pushing myself to improve in the more difficult songs. The single-song gig structure of the game, ...

We stand outside Gnomeregan, contemplating the arudous path before us. We could just turn around and go to punch boars in their Heisenburg snouts, only determined to exist when we are specifically not on a quest to gather them. But, no, Vulzerda is adamant that 'we are here ...
